Big Daddy Weave entered the studio for the fifth time in their decade long career with a singular mission – to create a collection of songs that might somehow communicate the word placed on their hearts to the hearts of those who hear it. It might have been easier to simply try to recreate the success of their previous hit songs, such as “Every Time I Breathe” or “Audience of One.” Instead, the band set out to craft the most ambitious and varied album of their career by doing what they’ve been doing all along – refusing to compromise while stretching the artistic boundaries of what a Big Daddy Weave record is supposed to sound like.

Recording a song the caliber of “My Savior, My God” can be a mixed blessing. Just ask worship leader, Aaron Shust. The simple tune he penned for his local congregation took radio by storm, topping six different charts at once while on its way to becoming the most played song of 2006 on the Christian Adult Contemporary charts. From his debut project, Anything Worth Saying, “My Savior, My God” helped earn Aaron a trio of Dove Awards for “Song of the Year,” “Songwriter of the Year,” and “New Artist of the Year.”
